TM500 Super

[AndrewGB]

Is it possible to patch/flash a TM500 Super by FTP?

Also it is possible to have Gift?

[bj1]

there is no gift on tm500 only keys which opens bulsat and a few other channels on other sats or you can google c/s and pay for a sea lion, use technomate control centre to download latest ur image and then use dreambox control centre to ftp latest keys or ftp auto key updater to download latest keys, all of the software and updater is available on this section just have a look through previous posts and you will find them have fun ........BJ1

works exactly same as dreambox 500s only the image is different as said above UR image , Infact they work better than dreambox 500s, especially with motorised.

My Technomate TM500 Super will be delivered in the next few hours so I just want to double check I have understood everything.

I think I am going to try these images:
Gemini 4.7 13-09-10 for TM-500 Super
TM-500 S-TM600 UR _update-11-3-11

I connect the box to my router and find the IP address using the router control panel. I connect to that address using IE, which will allow me to add the img file to re-flash the box. Reboot then use the same control panel to edit the config. Another reboot and bingo?

I assume cccam is already installed with the new image.

i only use the ur image i have had problems with gemini if you are going to try gemini image make sure you have a null modem cable for recovery, everything you need is on the ur image... cccam config for sea lion and mgcamd 1.35 ab for bulsat

Sorry to jump in on your thread mine came todaty although i did go for the easy option.plug n play ?192 worked straight out the box..................

[AndrewGB]

The setup was very easy, and the box even has a auto downloader/installer for plugins such as cccam/oscam/etc... Just brillient!

Is it possible to add more than one satellite for example, 28.5 & 23? I am using an existing 53cm Sky Mini Dish which is pointing 28.5 E. I get a very low signal from 19E, good signal from 23E up to 32E but when scanning for channels only a few come up, no more than about 3. Any ideas why this might be?

go to satellite config and change to motorised you can have as many as you wish

Not picking up enough transponders because the dish is small.

A bigger dish maybe a 80cm would sort that out.

Read above
53cm dish aimed at 28.2e!

[satmannwest]

obviously andrew as above, you wont get much with sky minidish mate upgrade to bigger dish as mentioned for other sats.

Yes manic but as stated it is possible to pull in close sats such as 26 and 23. ONly really strong transponders though hence the reason he only gets a few channels on the sats. A bigger static dish would pull in more but the obvious answer is to go motorised or multilnb if you wish to get more from your dish.

[bj1]

get yourself a 80 - 1m motorised dish m8 cost about 90 quid if you set it up yourself ....pretty easy to do there is full tutorials on this forum......BJ1

[AndrewGB]

If I buy a 80cm motorised dish, 28.5 E is perpendicular to my side wall where the dish would go. How far roughly would I be able to swing W and E without hitting the wall?
